Even as AI progresses, coders aren’t doomed.

    ‘Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.’

    Study computer science if you like it, it’s never been about making good ‘coders’ or software engineers.

    I don’t think the number of software engineers will ever drop to zero, but the days of ‘learn to code’ to get a high paying job guaranteed are definitely over.

        I don’t know how to break this to people but the vast majority of coding is boilerplate projects to solve trivial problems. Those jobs are disappearing (and have for years), what still exists is applying rigourous methods of computer science to solve specialised problems.
